When local councils sold on the traffic enforcement contracts to private operators the principles changed. Traffic wardens should in my view ensure people park safely and do not obstruct traffic flow or access. If you have not paid for a ticket that's fair game. However increasingly its become about generated money over pedantic rule enforcement. I've seen traffic wardens operating late at night along near deserted Streets ticketing. People not causing any obstruction or problem who might have parked to pick up someone are not fair game. Greed is the motive these day
